i `To alliwhom may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN GRAHAMCOOEY of the `city of St. John, in the Province of N ew Brunswick, Canada, doctor of medicine, have invented a new and useful machine or apparatus for the purpose of cookingfood for ordinary familypurposes by the use of steam, to be called or known as CooEYs Utility Cooking Apparatus;-77 and yI hereby declare i thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description of of the same.

The machine or apparatus is fully described in the drawing hereto annexed. It is made of tin, copper, or other suitable metal, stands upright upon an ordinary or other stove, is divided into several compartments resting upon each other-,Itho bottom one of which is used asa boiler. `In the compartments above the boiler is placed the food to be cooked. Each compartment is capable of being lifted off the other,"all of which compartments, their use the construction and operation `fand object, are referred to in said drawing and the letters and figures thereon. The steam is l conducted from the boiler to the first compartment through smallholes perforated through the bottom thereof, and also passes around the same, and from thence passes around each compartment abovethrough the passage des` ignatedbyfthe letters J J J on Figure 3.

y The dome, designated `by the letter A on ."Fig. 1, is for the purpose of condensing the steam which escapes throughthe machine through its joints,` The dome rests on brackets, designated on Fig. 6 by the letters c e, and sufficient space is allowed between the bottom of the dome and the sides of the boiler to admit cold. air into'the space designated on Fig. 3 by the letter H, which cold air condenses the steam and reconducts it to the boiler by means of the gutter designated on Fig. 3 by the letters b b, and thence through the tube or spout designated on Fig. l by the letter O, so that' no steam or vapor escapes. The bottom of the pan, designated by Fig. 7, is perforated with holes, and is intended to be placed in the compartment designated by Fig. 6, and used for the purpose of a vegetable boiler and strainer.

Having thus described my invention, Iy

Dated at St. John, inthe Province Aof Newv Brunswick, this 8th day of vMarch, 1871.
